From Crane Seed,

A lad named Max Kuehne, aged IL
years, died ut the corner OF Navarr" and
Martin streets last night from per!Ora-
ton of the bowels, caused by his eating
grapes and swallowing a number Of the
seeds, which lodged in a secondary in
testine, adjunct to the larger or main
intestine and then worked their way
through the lining by steady friction.
This produced peritOnitis and finally
death. This case is clearly analogous to
the case of DR.. John Herif, which caus-
ed his death, People should be careful
in eating grapes or raisins to look out
for the stones,
